Me either.

The other main issue being that the mouse came from outside. If you trap it humanely, where are you planning on releasing it? Back outside where they came from?

If we're superior then that does, in fact, make everything else inferior. I mean, that's the entire point and meaning of the word, and the distinction for which it stands.

Maybe what you meant is that just because everything is inferior, that doesn't give us the right to kill it.

To this argument (not to you, specifically) I say: Until a person grows every morsel of food they eat, and cotton they use to spin into clothing, and erect the home they live in with their bare hands with tools they made themselves, create/harness electricity using purely ecological means, dig a well for water, and use nothing but rewashable cloth diapers for their children (where applicable), I don't want to hear any bullshit about "unnecessarily killing an innocent animal".

Because they're already doing it, over and over, by consuming these products and using these services- they just don't have to think about it until the rats or mice are in their garage or shed, and you have to dispose of the body yourself. They have diseases. They set up nests and reproduce more. People have a responsibility to protect their home and their family, and the "catch and release" method is not optimal for this task, simply because you'd have to drive the captured rodent some distance from your home just to be sure it won't go right back to where you found it. Not everyone has that kind of time- and it's just one more animal in the long list that die to bring us all the comforts of home and foods we eat.
